Notes

 

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken and Seasoning

  1. Slice the Chicken: Cut chicken into thin strips or small cubes. Thinner pieces cook faster and absorb the seasoning better.
  2. Season the Chicken: Coat the chicken evenly with your chicken taco seasoning. If using a store-bought mix, start with 2 tablespoons and adjust to taste.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Stir occasionally for even cooking.

Step 3: Assemble the Tacos

  1. Warm the Tortillas: Briefly heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a softer, more pliable texture.
  2. Add Chicken and Toppings: Place a portion of chicken on each tortilla, then layer with lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, salsa, and avocado slices.
  3. Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges for a fresh, citrusy kick.
